Doofy--39-s Projects -

A physical whiteboard connected to an Arduino and a modified robotic arm. You write your three daily tasks on the board. If a task is not checked off by 5:00 PM, the arm extends and delivers a gentle (but humiliating) slap to the back of your head.

If you’re new here, you might be wondering: Who is Doofy? Is he a genius? A menace? A guy who simply has too much access to soldering irons and 3D printers?

"I’m not fixing the velocity issue. The cats need to learn to move faster." Project #2: The "Second Breakfast" Drone The Goal: Eliminate the walk from Doofy’s desk to the kitchen. Doofy--39-s Projects

Doofy reminds us that projects aren’t just about deliverables and deadlines. They’re about curiosity. They’re about asking, "What if?" even when the answer is clearly, "Please don't."

"You say 'concussion,' I say 'negative reinforcement feedback loop.' Tomato, tomato." The Verdict Look, working with Doofy is like herding cats who have engineering degrees. His projects rarely launch on time, they often break existing laws of physics, and we’ve had to replace three keyboards due to "unexpected combustion." A physical whiteboard connected to an Arduino and

Doofy wore it as a backpack for three days straight. He completed 17 tasks. He also gave himself a mild concussion when he bent over to tie his shoe. We have confiscated the slapping arm. It is now in a locked safe.

"It’s not stealing. It’s gustatory acquisition." Project #3: The To-Do List That Slaps You The Goal: Force productivity through negative reinforcement. If you’re new here, you might be wondering: Who is Doofy

Doofy is our in-house "Innovation Officer" (his words, not ours). He doesn’t write standard project briefs. He writes manifestos on napkins. He doesn’t use project management software; he uses a wall of sticky notes that is slowly taking over the breakroom.
